iuoro quickly operated and it gives
the animal h-ss pain.
It baa the further advantage that
the close confinement of tho animal

clipper. It Is used successfully with
out a dehorning chute.
The animal is tied to a tree with a

nose and pulled in the direction oppo

The horn is more often cut too hifh

cut the horn too close, and the horn
cuts easier low. The wound also heals
quicker and the head is given a nicer
shape. A ring of skiu should be tak

STAPLE FOOD FCR POULTRY
Crain Is Beneficial to All Farm Fowls,
' but Variety Is Necessary for
Egg Production.
Grain is the staple food for poul
try, and will oe used for that purpose
as long as fowls are kept on farms;
but hens can not give good results
en grain alone. It is beneficial to
them and will be at all times rel
ished, but the demands of the bens
are such as to call for a variety. In
the shells of eggs as well as their
composition are several forms of min
eral matter and nitrogen, which can
only be partially obtained from grain, i
i Even grains vary in composition,
and when fowls are fed on one kind ;
for a long time, they will begin to re- j
fuso it, as they may be oversupplled j
w ith the elements of the food par; j
taken and l3ck the elements that a )
best supplied from some other source.
For this reason they will accept a
1 change of food, which is of itself
an evidence that the best resultB
from hens can only be obtained by
a variety of food. Corn and wheat
; may be used as food with advantage,
but must bo given as a portion of
the ration and not made exclusive ar
ticles of diet.
